Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] ASoC: qcom: q6apm-dai: wrap the position of a full ring to 0
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 14:47:33 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110193643.3552101-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107052307-failed-6.12-0ea3e0b196f9@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 0ea3e0b196f9dcc17b40ac881a6efef06459975b ]
q6apm_dai_pointer() turns the number of period buffers the DSP has
returned in the current lap, 1..periods, into a position and reports
one frame less than that. Commit a93dad6f4e6a ("ASoC: q6apm-dai: make
use of q6apm_get_hw_pointer") added the "- 1" so that the end of the
ring is not reported as a position equal to the buffer size.
One frame short has a cost once the application stops feeding the
stream. The DSP returns the last queued buffer and the position stops
at appl_ptr - 1, so avail stays at buffer_size - 1, below the default
stop_threshold. The DSP sends nothing more as its queue is empty, so
no period interrupt comes either: ALSA never detects the underrun and
the stream stays RUNNING. A poll-driven application that missed its
last wakeup waits forever, and drain only ends on its timeout, with
-EIO. On capture, the last frame of each period is held back until
the next one.
Before that commit the position wrapped to 0 at the end of the ring.
Do that again. A full lap is the start of the ring, and
snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0() accounts for the wrap: the position cannot
move by more than one lap between two updates, as each returned buffer
calls snd_pcm_period_elapsed() and the DSP holds at most periods
buffers.
Seen on a OnePlus Pad 3 (SM8750) with PipeWire in interrupt-driven
scheduling: after a stall the PCM sat at hw_ptr 78239, appl_ptr 78240
(avail 3839 of 3840) for two hours.
